Yes, we're out there! I know of at least two other gay men on this forum, one of whom I keep in touch with fairly regularly (we share the same surgeon, besides).

Congrats! I have my surgical consult today so hopefully I will get to schedule surgery today! How is the mushy stuff going? Are you up and moving about?

Thanks ! The mushies are going "ok" , the weird thing is that I am not even hungry like I used to be and have to force myself to eat.....I will admit that I am eating chunkie (no punn intended !) food as well and have absolutely no problems but still take it slow. Move around ? lol If you call painting the kitchen, hall way and stair way moving around I would have to say yes I am ! I hve also been planting a ton of stuff in the yard. I ended up in urgent care due to a bladder infection but they just gave me more pills to pound . All in all it has been good so far ! I love to cook and have yet to do any in the past 5 weeks but will startg again soon.

Did you get your date yet ? Have you started the pre op diet ?

Congrats and keep up the good work. I know that the group that I am going to requires a 10% body weight , weight loss before they schedule the surgery. I have a 32 pound weight loss ahead of me.

Date bumped up to August 17th. I have so far lost 26lbs!! YAY!! Keep getting nervous that I am going to gain it back by the time I get the surgery, but I am still working out daily, see my trainer 3x weekly, and eating well. Weird thing is, I feel full after a small amount of food and "feel bad" about it. I don't want to feel bad about that....

Hey on another note, how soon after surgery were you guys back to working out??

Hello...just had my surgery Friday (8/3/12) checking out the forums. Seems pretty quiet in the lgbt section.

I was banded 7/27. It seems pretty dead around here. Where are you from?
